I was in Badagry, Lagos, over the weekend and took time out to visit the Heritage Museum (which has been sadly neglected by the Government). Wonder why they would do that to a place that holds such history (it was a District Office during the era of Lord Lugard).

Moving on....

I took pictures of various historical events especially the much despised slave trade era :(

I also took an "unprofessional" shot of the first Storey Building in Nigeria.

Despite the neglected state of the Museum, it is still worth a visit whenever you go to Badagry.

Did I mention that they have very delicious catfish in Badagry and the fresh coconuts are to die for :) ♥

"It's not my fault, the hardship in this Country is just too much that is why I took up robbery as a 'profession' ".

"The old woman in my village is at it again, that explains why I can't get a job" (mind you this is coming from someone who sits at home all day and hasn't finished typing the first paragraph of his resume).

Growing up, we played certain games and eventually outgrew them but one game that has transcended the age barrier is the BLAME GAME.

It is always so easy to blame someone else for ALL our misfortunes even though we know some of these events occurred due to sheer lack of discipline from our end.

Review: I can't remember how I came across this song but it stuck like glue immediately I listened to it. In her own unique way, Nicole C. Mullen reaffirms her love for God and her willingness to be used as His Vessel here on earth.

In my humble opinion, it is the best song to listen to when your faith in God starts getting a little shaky and you just want to remind yourself of that undying love He promised us and the need to "Be Still and know that He is God".

It also reminds us of the need to always remember that we are here as vessels and reflections of God's love and mercy.

"We glorify Him most and enjoy Him most when we work with fervor and excellence for His pleasure, not ours. For His service and the service of others, not self-service and personal gain, because He deserves our all - Randy Kilgore".

I was out chilling with some friends a while back and mid way into the azonto-etighi-alingo movements on the dance floor, the DJ suddenly started playing Diallo by Wyclef Jean and despite
its slow tune, it quickly took everyone down memory lane.

Virtually
everyone was singing along and it felt really good remembering those
good ol' days of lyric books ( a twenty page or less publication of
lyrics *sometimes right, sometimes wrong* of hit songs).
